Do I need an account to try Moonshot?

No. You can upload a video, pick a preset, and explore the full timeline editor without creating an account. You only need to sign in when you export.

How many caption fonts are there?

24 fonts across practical style categories — condensed, bold display, rounded, geometric, classic, editorial, and handwriting. The default presets prioritize readable creator fonts like Montserrat, Poppins, Anton, Inter, and Fredoka; decorative scripts stay available for experiments, not as primary recommendations.

How is this different from CapCut or Captions.ai?

Moonshot gives you a full multi-track timeline — not just captions on a locked clip. You can drag b-roll, swap stock video, adjust individual clip volumes, change color grades, and control SFX timing, all on a proper editor canvas. The AI handles setup; you stay in control of the final edit.

Where does the b-roll come from — can I use it commercially?

B-roll is sourced from Pexels, which provides royalty-free stock video under the Pexels License. You can use exported videos commercially without attribution. Moonshot's AI picks clips by keyword, and you can swap any clip in the inspector panel.

What are caption styles and effects?

Caption styles combine font, placement, color, outline, highlight behavior, and word timing. Moonshot includes popular defaults like bold outline, black bar, native subtitle, yellow karaoke, and creator punch, plus quirkier options like neon, metallic, marker, typewriter, and glass.

What is the motion reference feature (coming soon)?

You'll be able to drop a reference video — a creator you admire, a style you want to replicate — and Moonshot will extract the motion language: zoom timing, caption animation rhythm, cut style, and energy. That style then gets applied to your own clip automatically.

What's the long-video-to-shorts feature?

Upload a longer video and Moonshot's AI identifies 5–15 self-contained 30–90 second segments that would work as standalone short-form clips — ideal for podcasts, lectures, and interviews. Each identified segment can be opened in the full editor independently.

What resolution and format does Moonshot export?

1080×1920 H.264 MP4 — vertical 9:16, the native format for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The video is rendered server-side via ffmpeg in a single pass, so there are no re-encode quality losses.

Can I use my own music or fonts?

Custom music upload is on the roadmap. Currently Moonshot uses preset-matched music beds (one per style). All 23 caption fonts are already bundled and work in both the live preview and the exported video — no drift between what you see and what you download.
